Tottenham are reportedly exploring the possibility of beating Manchester United thanks to the transfer of Lecce left-back Patrick Dorgu.
The talented young Danish international has shone in Serie A and it’s no surprise that it seems many clubs are interested in him at the moment.
Manchester United and Napoli are among Dorgu’s suitors, but another club could now enter the equation.
That club is Tottenham, according to a report from Give me sportwho state they could have the edge in the race for Dorgu due to United’s current poor financial situation.
Dorgu appears to have been admired by Spurs for some time, according to the report, and the north Londoners may well try to sign him as they will surely need to strengthen their squad in January.
Patrick Dargu transfer could boost morale at struggling Tottenham
United and Tottenham are both having very poor seasons by their standards, so it makes sense that both teams appear to be in the market for new signings this winter.
Dorgu might well look at both clubs and consider whether he would be right to join them as they currently do, but at the same time it would be difficult to turn down offers from the Premier League.
The 20-year-old is also surely good enough to make a truly positive impact for both sides, perhaps breathing new life into their respective campaigns.
Dorgu seems perfectly suited to Ruben Amorim’s system which uses full-backs, while also appearing to adapt to Ange Postecoglou’s demanding style of play.
THFC need something to smile about right now, so it will be interesting to see if they can spring an unpleasant surprise on their rivals here.
